The Servant of the Bone: Amazon.ca: Anne Rice: Books

Product Description

From Amazon

Her first book since Memnoch the Devil, Anne Rice takes us now into the world of Isaiah and Jeremiah, and the destruction of Solomon's temple, to tell the story of Azriel, Servant of the Bones. He is ghost, genji, demon, angel--pure spirit made visible. He pours his heart out to us as he journeys from an ancient Babylon of royal plottings and religious upheavals to the Europe of the Black Death and to the modern world. There he finds himself, amidst the towers of Manhattan, in confrontation with his own human origins and the dark forces that have sought to condemn him to a life of evil and destruction. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful story, Aug 8 2003

This review is from: Servant of the Bones (Mass Market Paperback)

Anne Rice has yet to write a book that I haven't adored. Regardless of those few "cool" people in the world that think hating a famous author makes them look intelligent, they are crazy. This story is about a young boy, thrust into becoming a man far too early, and becoming something much worse. I couldn't stop reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating New Twist, Mar 18 2003

This review is from: Servant of the Bones (Mass Market Paperback)

I just finsihed reading this wonderful book by Anne Rice. For some reason I am a devoted fan but I never got around to reading this book until now. I love Azriel the Genie. He is an tantalizing, alluring figure.I found the beginning of the tale with the "author" Jonathan taping Azriel's richly detailed tale of ancient Babylonia fascinating.
After reading every one of Anne's Vampire and Witch stories I found a different type of supernatural character very refreshing. I also realized how timely the idea of Gregory Belkin's mastermind plot of mass destuction is during these times of terrorism. Leave it to Anne Rice to tell such a tale.

1.0 out of 5 stars Them bones, them bones, them gold bones...
Anne Rice boldly goes where she's gone before in "Servant of the Bones," a flaccid deviation from her Vampire Chronicles. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Historical Fiction
Don't read this book if you are looking for a Vampire caper involving Lestat and his friends. This is about Azriel and his transformation into the Servant of the Bones. Read more
